Maintenance tags
I am attempting to address the issues noted by the maintenance tags. I have worked on the neutrality and sourcing issues (so far removing livejournal and pop history sources) and will continue to do so. I wanted to ask here, though, about the citation style tag. I have noticed some citations that do not have complete info; is that what it's referring to? What exactly is "unclear" about the citation style?--MattMauler (talk) 19:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Let's examine some recent investigations that shed light on the actual facts of the case
If the accusations against Elizabeth Báthory are false or exaggerated, due to political or religious motivations, it's important to note that there is no concrete evidence to support the extreme claims about her, and her reputation for bloodthirsty has grown over time, far beyond reality.
That's why I would perhaps add hypothesis titles and explain the most likely causes of the accusations.
Hypotheses on Elizabeth Báthory's Case
1. The Political Conspiracy Hypothesis
2. The Cruel Noblewoman Hypothesis
3. The Scapegoat for Broader Social Issues Hypothesis
4. The Misunderstood Medical Practices Hypothesis
Ant then, finaly, how the Legendary Embellishment Hypothesis
